    According to the letter there is a £50 exit fee. I've just convinced Hargreaves Lansdown to repay this on condition of transfer, even though Premier are not on their refundable list.

    Barring thermonuclear war, it seems as if the bond will mature next week.

    This is due to mature today if the FTSE stays around where it is - Which is looking very likely :)

    And indeed it did.

    80%, very nice.

    Where should I stick the proceeds I wonder?

    Yes indeed.

    Thanks to Dunstonh for mentioning this, and to those which provided the analysis.

    I was doubtful if it would make it over the years, but we got there eventually!

    Looks like that April pricing was timed just right looking at the FTSE100 today. I doubt if any of us would have risked running it for another year if given the choice.
